Meanwhile, Pfizer is dealing with mounting Lipitor and Zoloft lawsuits. Women who have filed Lipitor lawsuits allege that Pfizer’s blockbuster anticholesterol drug led them to develop type 2 diabetes. Already, over 2,400 Lipitor diabetes lawsuits have been filed as part of a South Carolina multidistrict litigation, and some legal experts expect this number to rise as high as 10,000.

As if the growing Lipitor litigation is not enough, Pfizer is also struggling with Zoloft lawsuits filed by women who claim the antidepressant caused their children to be born with birth defects. Plaintiffs in Zoloft lawsuits point to numerous medical studies that have associated selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Zoloft with an increased risk of birth defects. More recently, Pfizer has had to confront evidence that its own scientists knew of the potential birth defect dangers of the drug.
